Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Field of Application> The present invention relates to a cast-wrapped lower limb holder that facilitates the cast-wrapping of lower leg fractures and femur fractures.

<Prior art> Conventionally, when fixing lower leg and femur fractures with a cast, which is commonly used, it is extremely difficult to wrap the cast while holding the lower leg without putting stress on the fractured part. This requires great skill, and requires a great deal of effort on the part of the assistant, who must hold the cast until it hardens to some extent. In other words, when wrapping a cast around a leg, it is necessary to maintain the specified flexion of the knee joint and to hold the leg in a state that does not put stress on the fractured part (does not cause pain). This is a tedious task, requiring two assistants, one supporting the limb and one supporting the toe, and holding the heavy leg in a fixed position until the cast is finished and hardens. . Of course, even for the surgeon (doctor) who wraps the cast, it is difficult to wrap the cast smoothly if there are assistants in front and behind.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention is a cast-wrapped lower limb support stand that can hold the lower limb without putting any strain on the fractured part, does not cause pain, and can reduce the difficulty of the assistant. The purpose is to provide the following.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention consists of a pair of U-shaped bent portions in which flat support portions are disposed on the top portions of a predetermined height on both sides of a rectangular frame-shaped base. The supporting frame is fixed in an upright position, and a plurality of locking claws for hanging a gauze bandage are protruded from a midway locking part parallel to the flat receiving part of each support frame to hold the lower limb. It is a stand.

<Function> Due to the above structure, when wrapping in a cast,
In advance, a gauze bandage is placed between the opposing support frames to form a support band that is passed so that both ends are engaged with the locking claws so as to be slightly loosened, and a cotton bandage is further wrapped around the center of the gauze bandage to set it in the set state. do. Here, the upper end of the lower leg is placed on the cotton bandage of the gauze bandage that is perpendicular to the gauze bandage, and the cast is sequentially wrapped from the lower leg side, and at the support band position, the gauze bandage and the cotton bandage are wrapped together to cover the entire thigh area. After that, a separate gauze bandage is passed over the lower leg in the same manner as above to support it from below, and the rolled gauze bandage is cut at one end and pulled out.
This hole is covered with another cast, and a separate auxiliary gauze bandage, which is secured at both ends to both support frames, is wrapped around the toe and held until it dries completely.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings of the example.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a frame-shaped base formed by bending an iron pipe or the like into a rectangular shape, and on both sides of the frame-shaped base 1, a flat support part 2 at the top and legs 3 of a predetermined height are arranged at both ends. The gate-shaped support frames 4, 4 are fixed in an upright position perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and are locked with their tips directed outward and downward to locking rods 5 installed parallel to each other below each flat receiving portion 2. A plurality of claws 6 are provided (three in the illustration),
As a whole, the lower limb holding table 7 is wrapped in a cast.

To explain this action now, first, the lower limb holding table 7
In constructing the set table, the gauze bandage 8 cut to an appropriate length is folded into double or triple layers, and one end of the gauze bandage 8 is attached to the locking claw 6 of the support frame 4 on one side.
Lock the gauze bandage 8 by inserting it into the two locking claws 6 on the middle and central sides, and move the gauze bandage 8 from the upper flat receiving part 2 to the opposite support frame 4 side, in the gap between the support frames 4, 4. The other end of the gauze bandage 8 is folded back at the flat receiving part 2 to the locking claw 6 of the opposing support frame 4 and locked in the same manner as described above. do. Thereafter, the cotton bandage 10 is wrapped two or three times around the center of the slack part 8a of the gauze bandage 8, which has been passed over, to form a support band 11 as a whole (see FIG. 2).

Here, the upper end of the lower leg A of the patient's affected limb to be wrapped in a cast is placed on the cotton bandage 10 at the center of the supporting band 11 that is stretched orthogonally across the lower limb holding table 7. In this position, the assistant holds the feet and toes. Next, the operator wraps a protective cotton bandage 10' around the affected limb. At this time, the gauze bandage 8 and cotton bandage 10, which will become the support band 11, are also rolled up.

After that, the cast 12 is placed on the thigh B in order from the lower leg A side.
I chase it towards the side. Of course, this cast 12 is also wrapped with a gauze bandage 8 and a cotton bandage 10 in the same manner as described above. In this state, wait until the cast 12 is to the extent that it will not dent even when pressed with a finger. Next, among the locking claws 6 of the support frame 4, two to three layers of alternative support gauze bandages 8' are locked to the two distal locking claws 6 (as viewed from the toe side), and the gauze bandage 8' is supported from under the lower leg A with the cast 12 wrapped around it, and passed to the opposing support frame 4 side.
It is secured to the locking pawl 6 (see Fig. 4).

Next, use scissors D to cut one end of the gauze bandage 8, which serves as a bridging structure for the support band 11 in the previous stage.
(See FIG. 5) and pull the other end of the gauze bandage 8 outward to remove the cut end from the cast 12 (See FIG. 6). In this way, the gauze bandage 8, which will serve as the first stage of support for the cast, is placed on the cast 1.
2, there will be a hole 13 in the cast 12.
To prevent this, press the protrusion of the hole 13 a little to adjust it, and then use a separate cast 12' to tighten it by 1/2~
Wrap it around 1/3 of a turn to seal it and use it as reinforcement.

Finally, add a separate auxiliary gauze bandage 8" for retention.
One end is hooked to the locking claw 6 of the support frame 4 on one side,
The support frame 4 is guided to the toe C part that is forward of the front leg part 3a surface, and after being wound around the toe C two or three times, the locking claw 6 is inserted from the front leg part 3a position of the opposite support frame body 4. If it is fixed at , the lower leg A on the lower limb holding table 7 (above the alternative support gauze bandage 8') will be securely retained without rotating inward or outward, and the cast 12 will remain in that state until it completely dries and hardens. (See Figure 7).

By the way, if you show us the size of this lower limb support table,
It is as follows.

A rectangular frame-shaped base with a width of 45 cm and a depth of 17 cm, made by bending a 2 cm diameter steel pipe made of crawler metal, is placed on both sides with a 33 cm interval between the sides.
Raise each gate-shaped support frame with a depth of 17cm, and attach three 2cm-long locking claws to the locking part that will become a crossbar at a position 11cm below the flat receiving part of each support frame.
When the affected limb is placed on a gauze bandage that is stretched between the opposing support frames with a slight slack, the bending angle at the knee is suitable for applying a cast (e.g., 30 degrees of flexion).

<Effects of the invention> As described above, the cast-wrapped lower limb support table of the present invention has a gate-shaped support frame facing a frame-shaped base, and a locking part parallel to the flat receiving part serving as the top part. Since it has a simple structure with only a protruding locking claw for gauze bandage, it is lightweight and easy to carry, and cast treatment can be performed easily anywhere. Moreover, in this case, the pedestal part on which the affected limb is directly placed must be held softly and forced into position by an assistant as in the past, in order to obtain a gauze bandage tensioned loosely between both supporting frames. This combined with the fact that there is no strain on the fractured part allows the lower limb to be held stably without putting any strain on the fractured part. Of course, this also results in alleviating the patient's own pain. Furthermore, the advantage of this invention is that there is no need to continue to forcefully hold the affected limb during the plaster wrapping process and from the end of the plaster wrapping until it dries and hardens (during the plaster wrapping process, the patient only holds the leg to the extent that it does not rotate). It can eliminate the trouble of holding assistants. In addition, since the upper edge of this support frame has a flat receiving part that serves as a horizontal axis, the gauze bandage hung on the lower locking claw can be passed widely toward the opposite support frame, allowing it to be applied to the affected limb. It provides support on the opposite side (pine-like), and from this point of view as well, it has practical effects such as not placing any burden on the fractured part.
